Wondering what size I should get. I have some CT Extra Slim Fit (the fit after the end of 2014/ beginning of 2015 revision) in 15"/34"

looking at dress shirts, and will go with the Tokyo slim fit (Manhattan). Hesitating between 39/87 and 38/85. What would you recommend? Thanks!

I just went to both CT and Kamakura a few days ago, got measured in both places.

I am a 15 1/2" / 33" in CT and Kamakura I am a 15 1/2" / 32 1/2" or 39/83

CT was in super slim fit (Their slimmest fit) and it was stiller baggy in every aspect even tho I have a semi athletic build. Kamakura Tokyo fit me a lot better for me although it was a bit longer than I liked.

I tried a after wash and pre wash fit and the after washed seemed to only have shrunk slightly in the arms and length. Hope this helps

Has anyone tried the sport coats or blazers from Kamakura? The website has a litany of new ones. The price range - $350-$450 - is very attractive. Is it a poor man’s Ring Jacket?

I tried a few of them in Japan and liked the fit and construction. That said, I had to go up a size (48 instead of the usual 36/46) and even with the larger size, they were still slim and (almost too) short.

I am going to refine my game a bit and step up to Kamakura shirts with a semi-spread collar.I will make a trip over to Madison to the store.I have a tall,wide shoulder - narrow waist build.To get the fit I like will certainly take alterations in the sleeve and mid section.Do they do alterations in the store?

They do. I ended up not having them alter my sleeves but I think they were charging $30 or $35 to shorten them.

Does anyone know how long the sleeves are on the Napoli shirts? I called and they told me to check the size guide but there are no sleeve measurements for Napoli shirts. Also, I normally wear a 15.5 collar. Kamakura shirts seem to only come in either 15 1/3 and 15 3/4. I guess I should go with 15 3/4 to compensate for shrinkage but I have no experience with Kamakura and I don't want to end up with too big of a collar.
Any advice is appreciated.
